Description:
SinNULL has reported a vulnerability in Lithium II Mod, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error when displaying the score at the end of the game. This can be exploited to crash the server or potentially execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted nickname containing format specifiers.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.24. Other versions may also be affected.
